The Hearts – Lovers drug (new video)

The Hearts are a new pop rock band hailing from Newport, South Wales. The band is composed by Alex Nash, Hamish Kay and Jamie Roberts.
After spending time away writing and recording for their forthcoming debut album, the trio are now back with new single “Lovers drug”, which is a catchy track with strong synths, brash guitars and a commanding chorus.
Produced and directed by the band, the video was recorded in an empty warehouse in Cardiff.

Speaking of the single release, Alex Nash explains: “Lovers Drug is a track I started writing about a year ago. Lyrically the song is a nod to our younger years and lust and love in adolescent minds. Addictive, but hard to work out which one you crave more. The video has a simple concept, I guess; I pop a (pill) love heart, it hits me, love it/hate it, repeat. By the time we did the final shot I was sugar wired and must’ve eaten a lifetime supply of sweets that said ‘be mine’ and ‘tickle me’. Rock ‘n’ roll, eh?”.

Lyrics:

I left you on the corner by the cold street light
So you could be alone
I left you with the voices of your head

A pretty little face that goes unsaid…
You hit me like a lovers drug
You shot me like a hitman
You hit me like a lovers drug
You shot me like a hitman
And now I can’t forget you
Do you love us?
I’m on a dirty step
I confess that I can’t forget you
Do you love us?
I’m gonna be alone
You hit me like a lovers drug
You shot me like hitman
A flash of sirens calling down the road
They’re like a symphony
The perfume on your wrist
A traffic scent
It covers up your dreams of teenage lament
You hit me like a lovers drug
You shot me like a hitman
You hit me like a lovers drug
You shot me like a hitman
And now I can’t forget you
Do you love us?
I’m on a dirty step
I confess that I can’t forget you
Do you love us?
I’m gonna be alone
You hit me like a lovers drug
You shot me like a hitman
You hit me like a lovers drug
Shot me like a hitman
I don’t wanna be alone
I’m stuck here ’til that demon turns
I’ll run until it hurts
I don’t wanna be alone
You hit me like a lovers drug
Shot me like a hitman
I don’t wanna be alone
I’m stuck here ’til that demon turns
I’ll run until it hurts
I don’t wanna be alone
You hit me like a lovers drug
Shot me like a hitman
You hit me like a lovers drug
Shot me like a hitman
